Book marks...

For the last day of another stamping challenge with the topoc: "book marks" I finished two versions. Yes, last day, last minute... as often with me ^^ But I used the book marks to test another technique of application for pictures. I did it with the dragonflys you see above on the book mark.

No surprise, I love the images of the graphics fairy. ^^ There are some images I just can't get enough from. So you will see some more ideas and stuff made out of them. This time I printed several images very small and cut the, out. Sometimes with a little overhang because this small it is not possible to cut them out easy. But not necessary. Some of the small images I put on the glue side of adhesive tape.

Just put the stripes with the images in hot water and let it incubate for some time. I don't know what the minimal time is because in between I worked on my thesis. But it was abound 45 minutes? Less time I think would also work.

But the cut out images itself, even without adhesive tape, makes nice envelop closer! Like a kind of a seal :)

After the incubation time in the water just take the stripes out and carefully rub the paper off the back. It is really easy but at your first attemp make some more just for getting used how much pressure you need and how much pressure would be too much.

Yes, I am changing images. I forgot to make pictures from every images to every step. But the all stand as example for eacht other. Below you see the moth after rubbing of the paper. The background will now shine through. I left a little bit of the paper inside the moth so sometimes there will be white spots. Getting the image a little bit more rough or shabby.

This site is all about making stuff. There is a thin line between art and stuff and I am not sure at which time this line is crossed. All I can say is that I love my work starting from the idea going all the way of the creational progress to the end, mixed up with doubt, frustration of missing perfections and a desire for growing.
